At Rome a land company is being or

| At Rome Tuesday p. 4. WilkersOn
walked into Mr.. LamkIn's real estate
| office and wanted to buy calf belonging
TO the dirt seller. 81 will give you 50 for
your calf" said Mir. WilkersOn. Not
enough" said Mr.. Lamkin. II will give
YOU s. front loot for him." said Mr..
Wilkerson, meening to measure across
Kin, give me the So and take the calf"
There will now be a suit in the Justice
court to decide what is front foot in the
case Of a calf. The calf is in a bad Tx if
ne hasn't two front feet.
Rome Courier: We were yesterday
shown by different parties many fine
specimens OF iron and manganese ores
COTTON out at places adjacent to Rome.
AT Mr.. Lampkin's office are specimens OF
iron and manganese ore that came from
VIM. L. Glanton's place. near East Rome,
within two miles OF the city. At Batty IL
Hamilton's are many fine pieces OF the
former from beds around Rome. The
TACT is Rome is the centre Of a great min
eral belt, and the future VIII develop the
fact that we can make iron as cheaply as
birmingham, Chattanooga, Sheffield and
other places.
Dublin Post: 1t is remarkably strange
that the officers of our town government
never submit report to the public. The
citizens of the town have been paying
taxes, business, street and ad Valorem,
for years without7being advised as to how
1t is all expended. Besides the amounts
paid into the treasury from these sources
the liquor licenses of the town amount to
5000 every quarter, and added to this are
the amounts received rom fines of offend
ers OF ordinances. The expenditure OF
this money, however, when and tor what,
is OF considerable interest to the taXpay-
ers of the town, and in justice to IA 9m
full report should be given at least once
a year. .a..
The number OF State house officials who

toll. There is lkaa doubt that much of
this sickness is dtue to the building, for
some one has beeqs Ack in every Office in
it. In the executive Office Secretary
Warren, in the Agricultural Department
Commissioner Henderson, In the Treas
ury Treasurer Hardeman, in the library
Librarian iHafason, and in the Comp
trOller's office botn Comptroller Wright
and Chief Clerk Furlow have been sick
within the past month. 1t is probable
that no sIn9le other building In Atlanta
can show such sick list among its in
mates. And 1t can hardly be claimed
that it just happened 80, that all these
sick men mad Offices in this building, and
that the building had nothing to do
with it. 'E '' "a
Perhaps there was never more hOrri-
Bile act OF inhumanHy perpetrated than
has occurred near NineVile, Oh the Cen
trial railroad. Last Saturday night the
up train on the Central road ran oVertwo
mules in cut near NineVIlle. One had
leg crushed and its body manged badly
The first has hobbled around and guawed
sticks and stubble, but the other has been
unable to get around even for that, and
the two are just perishing to death out
there with no meroiful hand to put au end
to their miserable lives. The owner has
not been near them, the railroad authOri-
ties have lett them alone, and even the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
A nimals has been aotifed. and they have
done nothing. TIE poor brutes remain
there still, moaning in the intense
agony OF their suferngs, while hunger
and thirst and cold are left to finish the
work Of the cruel wheels.
Dublin Post: Would it not be a good
idea, and very just one, for the State OF
Georgia to pension the negroes who faith
fully followed their Southern masters
through the late war, as cooks, body ser
wants, etc, and came out OF the service
famed and disabled? The idea is sug-
Gested by the condition of Mike" the
true and faithful servant who accompa-
county, to the war, aud emerged

caused by amputation, from being
trostbitten when in the engagements near
Chattanooga. Mike now resides on the
GuytOn plantation. in Buckeye district.
to whom Col. GuytOn gave a home for
life, and is known and liked by every one
in that section. His only mode of loco
motion is 10 travel on his knees, and the
State might, In rich justice, pension these
faithful negroes. The way is open for
some politician or patriot to take hold OF
the matter. Though Of black skin. these
negroes had hearts that beat warm for the
Confederate cause and their dearly be-
loved masters.
